STOCKTON, Calif. – Pacific men's water polo senior Matthew Hosmer is the Golden Coast Conference's Player of the Week for week one of the 2022 season.
Hosmer had 16 goals in the five games at the Bruno Invitational hosted by Brown last weekend. He helped the Tigers open the season with five wins, including wins over No. 13 California Baptist, No. 17 Fordham, No. 19 Brown and No. 20 St. Francis-NY.
"I'm very excited to see Mathew Hosmer get recognized for his outstanding weekend," said Head Coach James Graham. "He was a big part of our success. I'm very proud of him and the team for what we accomplished last weekend."
Hosmer's 16 goals in the first weekend of Pacific's season already surpassed half his total goals last year; 26.
Hosmer and the Tigers take on #1 California Friday, Sept. 9.
Pacific kicks off GCC play on Saturday, Oct. 8, at Long Beach State, a rematch of the 2021 GCC championship game. The Tigers advanced to the GCC tournament title game, finished the 2021 season 10-12 overall, and tied with UC Santa Barbara for second in the GCC standings at 3-2.
